Hmm, maybe everyone that has recieved them in Snail Mail, should send them to their postmaster, who can make sure they stop it.
The postal Service, at least in the US, does not put up with that kind of stuff. NetSol may have ICANN in their back pocket, but NOT the USPS!!!!! They can take action, like Mail Fraud, or fines, or something. If I remember correctly, one of my friends in-laws is an inspector for them, I could even try to get a hold of him, and ask him about it!!
